我们使用一项大规模纵向调查，采用差异中差异研究设计，以估计COVID-19大流行对英国心理健康的影响。我们报告说，在第一波危机中，总体人口的心理痛苦大幅增加。这些影响并不是均匀分布的，女性、年轻群体、黑人、亚洲人和少数民族社区以及移民的心理健康成本更为明显。我们还确定了能够预测心理健康影响的弹性的特征。我们发现，在第一次浪潮中，有经济担忧，孤独或居住在过度拥挤的住宅中的人经历了更严重的心理健康恶化。
We use a large‐scale longitudinal survey with a differences‐in‐differences research design to estimate the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on mental health in the United Kingdom. We report substantial increases in psychological distress for the population overall during the first wave. These impacts were not uniformly distributed, with the mental health costs being more pronounced for females, younger cohorts, the black, Asian and minority ethnic community, and migrants. We also identified characteristics capable of predicting resilience to the mental health effects. We find that people with financial worries, loneliness or living in overcrowded dwellings experienced significantly worse mental health deterioration during the first wave.
